On the night of January 2-3, 2003, the terrible fire, which almost entirely destroyed the southeast wing of the historic building of the Château de Lunéville, fortunately spared the body of one of the two "mummies" discovered by the archaeologist Albert Gayet during his excavation campaigns on the site of Antinoé in 1904-1905, placed under the aegis of the French Society of Archaeological Excavations (SFFA). It was during the week of August 15-21, 1905, that L'Est Républicain announced its arrival at the Château museum. Currently registered under the number 2002.09.118, it will rest peacefully in its original display case until Wednesday, November 28, 2007, when it underwent a CT scan in the Medical Imaging Department of the Lunéville Hospital Center. This move is the result of a friendly and close collaboration between Annette Laumon and Francis Janot which led, from September 2007, to the formation of a multidisciplinary team specifically responsible for the study of this Coptic period body. All the collected results are gathered in this monograph. Thus, more than twenty specialists, coming from different cultural and scientific backgrounds, joined forces to give the most precise vision possible of the history, the health status and the archaeological material associated with this inhabitant from the city of Antinoé. In fact, the interpenetration of the medical and digital disciplines of the University Research Centers is now essential in a new biological approach to "historical" bodies preserved in museum reserves or unearthed in archaeological excavations. Clearly, each of the scientists, through their involvement and contribution to the production of this volume, participated in a truly interdisciplinary approach around a "mummy", dated to the 6th century AD, exhumed in a necropolis in Middle Egypt.
